First shots with my Big Boy Brass
First shots with my Big Boy Brass
The wife and I went to Mississippi to visit my best friend so I took my new Henry BBB in 357 with us. We set up a little range and had a blast. If you look at the three shot group in the lower right of the bullseye you can understand how happy I am. The shots were at 50 yards and Iron sights using Winchester white box 158 grain jacketed soft points. We were able to hit a beer can fairly consistently too.We put over 50 rounds through her and not a single Hiccup. I was now where near as consistent off hand.
I gotta admit that it has been years since I fired a rifle. I only bow hunt with a longbow now but, I see that changing this year.

Re: First shots with my Big Boy Brass
It does like that factory ammo for sure. Great shooting . 357 levers are a great choice I love all 4 of mine.

Re: First shots with my Big Boy Brass
Heck yeah, having fun with the Henry! Did your wife give it a shot? Enjoy!
Re: First shots with my Big Boy Brass
My wife shot it also. She said it doesn't kick! LOL
Re: First shots with my Big Boy Brass
Nice shooting. If you hand load you can work on loads that have very little recoil for your wife.

Re: First shots with my Big Boy Brass
Great shooting at 50 yds. CS! The .357 BB is really fun to shoot! TOO hot around here for me to get out today...94F today!!
Re: First shots with my Big Boy Brass
Where at in MS? Lot of folks around me have enough land to shoot on. Usually me or one of the neighbors is spending ammo almost every weekend, but hasn't been nearly as much in the last couple months. Everyone is conserving ammo, I suspect.
